THE DISCOVERIES OF spEcTAcLEs.

Few inventions have conferred great
or blessing on the human race than that
which assists impaired vision. Dr. John
son rightly expresses his surprise that
such q beneiactor as the discoverer of
spectacles should have been regarded
with indifference and found no worthy
biographer to celebrate his ingenuity.
Unfortunately, however, his name Is a
matter of much uncertainty /; and hence
grateful posterity may have been proven
ted from bestowing upon his memory
that honor which it has so richly merited.
But 1t may be noted that popular opinion
has long ago pronounced 10 favor of Spina,
n Florentine monk, as the rightful claim
ant, although some are in favor OF Roger
Bacon. nj. Spoon, in his Researches
Curieusesed' Antiquite," fixes the date
of the invention of spectacles between
the years of 1880 and 1911, and says that
Alexander de Spina, having seen pair
made by some other person, who was un.
willing to communicate the secret OF their
construction, ordered pair for himself
and found them so useful that he cheer
fully and promptly mades,the invention
public. According to an Italian anti
quarry, the person to whom Spina was in.
dcbted for his information was Salvino,
who died in the year 1918, and he quotes
from manuscript in his possession an
epitaph which records the circumstance
'Here lies Salvino Armoto d'Armati, oil

At the Ohio State election two years
ago the Democrats caused the tally sheets
IN the Fourth ward of Cincinnati and
those of the Thirteenth ward in Column
bus to be artistically forged to elect men,
bers of the General Assembly. The for.
gers of tally sheets were never discover
/. cd. The confession of two Democrats,
ono Of whom is dead, has revealed that
the man who was employed to forge the
sheets was an official of Cincinnati, skill
ed to the extent of genius in penmanship.
He was controlled by the reigning politi-
cal machine. He arranged the tally sheets
of the Fourth ward in Cincinnati, and
then was sent to Columbus by special
train at midnight to forge the sheets
there. This man lives in Cincinnati, and
when other criminal prosecutions against
him are under way he will be taken to
Columbus for the tally sheet forgery.
The betrayal Of this crime by Demo
will be the sensation of the present cam
paign, and means a terrible confusion
among the Doodle Democrats who assist
ed in its preparation.

Honey will be high this year. The
three leading honey producing States,
Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, have
absolutely no honey at all, and in many
parts of these States the bees are being
fed on sugar to keep them from starving.
Inst year California sent honey to the
East by the car load; this year they have
scarcely enough for home consumption.
The honey factories in New Jersey,
with stock of sorghum and molasses,
generally manage to keep up with the
demand for pure strained honey.

Flies Walk In.

81 have only known Of one instance
where badness proved rcmunerative, :"
said an old gentleman to St. Louis
Globe writer. "a friend Of mine, who had
shining pate, fell into the habit watching
the actions of his tormentors, the flies.
He noticed that a fly always walks up
ward. Put fly on window, and up
he goes toward the top; he can't be made
to walk downward. 50 my friend hit
upon an idea. Why not use that habit
against them2 Forthwith he made a
window screen, divided in half The
upper half Tapped over the lower, with
an inch of space between. Well, as soon
as a fly would light on the screen he
would proceed to travel upward, and
would thus walk straight outdoors On
reaching the top Of the lower half he
would be outside. Not being able to
walk down, he had no way to return to
the room. By this means room can he
quickly cleared of flies, which always
seek the light. My friend has got out a
patent, and proposes to begin a sys-
tematic war against the household pest. ="

Medicfna, Qualities of Bnttermilk.

For a summer beverage there can be
nothing more healthy and strengthening
than buttermilk 1t is excellent for
weak or delicate stomachs, and far bet
ter as a dinner drink than coffee, tea, or
water, and, unlike them, does not retard
but rather aids digestion.
A celebrated physician once said that
if every one knew the value OF butter-
milk as a drink it would be more freely
partakcn of by persons who drink so ex-
cessively of other beverages; and further
compared its effects upon the system to
the cleaning out of cook stove that
has been clogged up with ashes that
have siftcd through, filling up every
crcvice and crack, saying that the human
system is like the stove and collects and
gathers refuse matter that can in no way
be exterminatcd from the system 50
effectualIy as by drinking buttermilk.
1t is also a specific remedy for indiges
ton, soothes and quicts the nerves, and
is very somnolent to those who are
troubled with sIeeplcsSncss.
There is something strange in the fact
that people who are fond Of buttermilk
never tire of singing its praises; while
those who are not fond of it never weary
of wondering how some poop can drink
it. So far as possible, pcopla should
overcome their aversion to it and learn
to drink it for hcalth's sake. One gen
tleman Of our acquaintance IS 50 fond of
it that we knew hiIn one time to drink
about three glasses, then set his glass
down with a thud, cXclaiming earnestly
as he did so: "That's food and raiment
both, " while another buttermiIk enthusi-
asst made the statement once that where
the liver has become lifcless from tor
pidity and inaction, and Is too dead to
perform its functions, hHttermilk win
cause a new one to grow in. Whatever
exaggerated statements may have been
made concerning buttcrmik, It's medical
properties cannot be overrated, and it
should be more freely used by all who
can get it. Every Jnc who values good
health should drink buttcrmilk every
dav in warm weather, and let tea, cotTe
and water alone.
For the benefit Of those who are not
already aware Of it, may aid, that i'll

gestion IS gone through, making it one

Gnrch Going in Old Kentuesr.

Tie church, a bare white building,
with green shutters, stood just off the
road, surrounded by a well-trodden
grass plot On one side was a row Of
hitching posts, with rude trouehs for
corn; also a large shed for shelter in
case Of rain. About these points the
farmers grouped, discussing crops and
neighborhood news, comparing, and oc-
casionally, it must be confessed, trading
horses; while the women exchanged
whispered condolences and young people
fiirtatious greetings. 1t was no uncom-
mon thing TO see a belle dismount with
that fearlessncss and consequent grace in
horsemanship which seems to be a birth
right with most Kentucky women, and
then, stepping out of an alpaca riding
skirt, appear miraculousIy in all the crisp
freshness of white drapcries and blue
ribbons. Such an arrival caused f1ut-
ter of excitement, which was only al
iayed, or turned into another channel,
when some young fellow dashed up on
a local celebrity in horsefesh. The so
cial features of ''meeting" continued un-
til the minister came in sight, amblng
along on his well-known mare, whose
sides, as he rode, he continually kicked,
more from force Of habit than from any
hope of quickening its conservative pace.
Behind him came his worthy helpmate,
with a delegation of their otfsprings; the
lady seated well forward in the buggy,
her arms extended at full length, holding
the reins very far apart, and tapping
them up AID down on the horses back
after the manner of her sex. The min
lister led the way into the church, and
preached good, old-fashioncd, drowsy
sermon; after which everybody started
for home, with that cheerful alacrity
born of a duty fulfilled and pleasure in
prospect in the way of good dinner

Poisonous RAINY Tarri0pcs.

'P0isonous Perambuators, says the
British Medical Journal, ''are prob
ably one of the least suspected of dan
gers, yet, nevertheless, one which expe-
rience has shown to exist, and, therefore,
one against which the parents of fam
ily would do well to he on their guard.
A case is recorded this week of child,
aged four months, who, on its return
after being out under hot sun, was
seized with sickness and vomiting, the
vomited matter being green coIored
fluid. From inquiries made by the med
ical man it was elicited that the child had
been seen to suck a green strap of the
perambulator, and the true cause of the
mischief was at once suspected, namely,
arsenic poisoning. An analytical exami-
nation of the strap confirmed this view,
arsenic being found to be present in great
abundance In spite Of all that medical
aid could effect, the child gradually sank
from exhaustion"
